“Pressures exerted on the Egyptian judiciary by enemies of this country’s revolution has made [the court] hand down such an unfair verdict on Hosni Mubarak,” Hashemi noted on Sunday.

He added that while even the execution is not enough punishment for Egypt’s former dictator, he has been handed down life sentence.

The Iranian lawmaker stated that during his long presidential term, Mubarak paid no attention to his country’s national interests and only served foreigners and did not even care for humane or religious issues.

“The people of Egypt should know that their revolution has not achieved its final goal yet and they should continue to support and protect their revolution…until they achieve their final goal,” Hashemi said.
